The kind of tournaments that this man had to offer didn’t pique Ikazuchi’s interest anymore, so he denied the request directly. There wasn’t any room for negotiation, so the businessman wasn’t able to remain calm. “Don’t raise your voice at me.” Ikazuchi responded to the man with displeasure after being yelled at. This frightened the man as he had seen Ikazuchi covered in blood on more than one occasion.
Seeing that fear was enough to satisfy Ikazuchi for the time being, so he continued. “I’m not just refusing your request, I simply have no interest in fights at this level.” Ikazuchi calmly looked at the man who seemed frustrated by his answer. Still, the man didn’t express himself like earlier. It seemed that he was worried about what Ikazuchi may do if he spoke rudely again.
There were several guards in the room, but it was impossible for any of them to measure up to the young man. These people were those who couldn’t progress as adventurers and were forced to settle for steady jobs protecting the wealthy. Ikazuchi didn’t look down on them for their choices, but he wasn’t threatened by such people either.
Seeing that the man didn’t have anything else to say, Ikazuchi sighed and spoke one last time. “If there isn’t anything else, then I will be leaving.” After leaving those parting words he confidently left the building with a specific goal in mind.
